The truck is cool, the scenery beautiful, but what I really want to know is how you did the time lapse!

[@OverlandUncharted]

Haha thanks buddy! magic 🪄lol! Set it up on a gimbal and programmed it to take a long exposure for 6 hours overnight.

[@chazzie5418]

Its good to see you folks back out on the trail enjoying all that hard work, Macho looks good amongst those Colorado pines.

[@OverlandUncharted]

We so glad to BE back out on the trails!! Thanks so much, this is the type of vids we would like to make for the most part. Relaxing, scenic, cooking, just being in nature….hope you liked it. Appreciate your support!

[@mikamika2508]

The way you keep looking at his coffee longingly had me like awwww give her some lol 💕💕💕💕

[@sueborden4815]

I first discovered you on a tiny home show, but I can tell you are going to quickly become a favorite! 💗

[@OverlandUncharted]

Thank you! 😍

[@overlandradio]

Okay, next camping trip we take, Jen’s cooking.. I’m leaving the smoker at home.. that dish looked great. Love the night Timelapse too!! Miss you all!

[@OverlandUncharted]

Haha! No, You can’t do that!! Think about the kids…they will be so disappointed if don’t bring the smoker 😢 😝. Thanks for the support buddy, we miss you too!! Hope you can make it back out sometime soon (and bring your little sidekick this time!!)

[@DrifterJourney]

Loved that night time lapse! We don't drink coffee but the wood stove would come in handy for our morning tea. We're still manifesting a cordless chainsaw too.

[@OverlandUncharted]

Thanks guys!! Yeah the Timelapse’s are fun to set up, you just gotta wait all night and hope you did it right 😂 . The chainsaw is a new welcomed addition to the family too! Totally worth it.

[@largemarge1603]

@Drift, In our ExpeditionVehicle, we carry a Craftsman 20v. We like this series, because we have other Craftsman 20v tools: * DA (dual-action orbital sander) * weed-whacker * drills * saws * impact driver and others. We carry close to a dozen full batteries. . I hope this helps!

[@SirWilliamGoes]

Damn Jen, I hope you finally got that cup of joe!!! Great vid yall, miss ya

[@OverlandUncharted]

Haha yes! Mama always eats last… come back anytime now! Thanks buddy!

[@fancypants5730]

I just bought an old Winnebago 1998. Love it 21' long so easy for me to maneuver. I envisioned myself traveling all over the country with my dogs. I have learned the word boon docking for my desire to camp. Now the search for places to find to camp, not in a park! But not in a Walmart parking lot either. The place you are camping at in this video looks like a set-up I want as far as going alone. Does ANYONE know of a book or map of places to just pull off the road when I am tired? How do I find these kinds of camps? I am beginning investigating "hip camps" Thank you!! Hoping to head out west from NC this winter.

[@OverlandUncharted]

Thanks for watching! We rely a lot on iOverlander to find campsites. Free to download, you can thank us later :) Have fun!! Stick around the channel for a while, we should have a new vid out soon!

[@largemarge1603]

@Fancy, KZbinr Juli on 'Overlander Next Door' works for an organization charting boondock spots and road conditions. She probably mentions her work during videos of her back-country explorations.

[@kmjohnson87]

The food looked delicious as always ❤

[@OverlandUncharted]

May not be able to replicate it again but I can bet you it will taste just as good! Haha. Thanks gal 🙏🏻 😊!! Miss you!

[@daneminor149]

Beautiful family. Beautiful Colorado. Thanks so much for sharing❤

[@OverlandUncharted]

Thank you so much!

[@martykong3592]

:) WOW and Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Macho certainly will get you and family there! I HAD to LOL!!! I vote for Mama's #99 Thai Curry Chicken Rice!!! Forget Bigfoot and the Bears! I'd thump through the forest for that smell :) ALL THE BEST and safe travels!! Cheers and MANY more adventures for sure!

[@OverlandUncharted]

Haha! Well if we ever cross paths, I’ll be sure to make you something similar! Don’t ask me to replicate it lol, but it will be good I’m sure!! Thanks for watching Marty!

[@largemarge1603]

05:48 I am glad to see you cooking during daylight... ... instead of Mad-Slasher Midnight. This indicates excellent planning. This also shows your respect for your travel abilities... ... instead of scramming at top speed, potentially sacrificing a lot of the journey in favor of the destination. [applause]

[@OverlandUncharted]

Our #1 rule in finding camp is to get there during daylight! Hate finding camp at night, unless we are very familiar with the area. Makes everything and everyone irritable!

[@OverlandGeneration]

always good to gaze upon my favorite box truck family! Love you guys!

[@OverlandUncharted]

Aw shucks, thanks friend! Love you too buddy. Looking forward to our next encounter!

[@largemarge1603]

Team Macho, * your edit flows are excellent * I appreciate your quick snippets, rarely longer than a couple-three seconds * I like the way you move the camera, shifting focus, and adding visual interest to an otherwise still-life * I appreciate your diverse depths, close then far then mid-range * and I deeply appreciate your sense of commitment to family. . Another KZbinr I enjoy is Nomadic Sarah. Similar to your work, she narrates over the scene, always keeping the camera in motion. . My peeve is a stationary camera on a stationary subject while the narrator drones on about minutiae (HoboTech?). . For today's video, I saw that sixteen minutes -- nearly a half-hour including commercials -- and immediately set the 'playback' speed to 1.25x, then enjoyed the aerial shots enough to return 'playback' to 'normal'. . I appreciate your choice of relaxing rustic soundtrack. Please, always include the performer, title, and composer 'in the description below'.

[@OverlandUncharted]

Thank you so much for all of the feed back! Still processing all of it. Haha.

[@ilene9349]

1st. time watching your channel, 👍👍 , so I just subscribed, 💕 your family. 🤗

[@OverlandUncharted]

Hello! Welcome to the family! Thanks so much for joining us, stick around for a while 😁

[@largemarge1603]

14:20 Eugene, Oregon. Our local-owned family-operated farm/ranch supply carries milk-crates. We like the rectangular 'six-gallon'. With one or two couch-type throw-cushions from the second-hand shop (easily tossed in the worshing machine to freshen) atop, a crate is a nifty sit-spot for the cook, reducing the horizontal stress.

[@OverlandUncharted]

worshing, lol, you sound like my dad (he's a Yankee :p)

[@largemarge1603]

08:20 I like the distance between the camp-fire and the potentially flammable rig. If the fire gets unruly, the rig is safe to approach, mount, and evacuate the area. . An aside: Fresh water: Instead of a yuge tank in the rig, we carry fresh clean water in stainless-steel five-gallon retired Pepsi kegs. These are engineered to be pressurized; a quick puff from a 12v bicycle tire pump, and fresh water flows from the sprayer designed for a stand-still house kitchen sink. . Modular, our standard load is seven kegs, a total of thirty-five gallons. We can easily add a dozen more kegs. Do you suppose a keg can go to the outside kitchen... and sit near the camp-fire?

[@OverlandUncharted]

The problem here lies wherein we would carry said keg(s). We have a 50ft hose .... and buckets of water I suppose we could keep nearby if needed. We often drown our campfires at night before bed anyways.

[@largemarge1603]

10:30 2003, we engineered our ExpeditionVehicle with a permanent rear porch with a permanent roof. Our deck is expanded metal, similar to stout window-screen. We discovered the porch makes a nifty place to transport potential camp-fire wood foraged along the way in... reducing the wood-collecting impact within walking/dragging distance around the camp.

[@OverlandUncharted]

Porches are such a nice addition to any rig! Didn't know how much I needed one in my life :)

[@jaystewart9947]

Really enjoyed the video. From arrival in camp, to setting up, to cooking and on into the next morning. Icing on the whole cake was that morning coffee! We could feel the cool air and smell the woods and smoke from here. Great job! Hey, I’ll find a link to a fellow “KZbinr” who does cast iron cooking. Lots of great ideas on controlling that heat.

[@OverlandUncharted]

Thanks so much Jay! Really appreciate your comment. This is the feel and style of content we would like to consistently produce. Hearing your feedback is reassuring. Thank you!

[@largemarge1603]

03:30 As role-models, I would like to see you making a point of donning PPE -- eye-protection and gauntlet gloves. And I would prefer to see a chain-saw operator using two hands on the tool, including one hand on the kick-back prevention bar. Opinion.

[@OverlandUncharted]

Maybe we need add a disclaimer...*don't try this at home*

[@largemarge1603]

14:59 Dang, that cook is a whirlwind. I think a good cook deserves a tip! Chocolates are always appropriate. Hint, hint.

[@OverlandUncharted]

I like your thinking LargeMarge!! The cook is always last to eat and underpaid :p

[@largemarge1603]

11:58 Raking: Some spots during some seasons benefit from raking potential flammable material away from the spot for the fire. At the conclusion of the stay, the forest debris can be scattered back over, leaving a pristine appearance for the next campers.

[@OverlandUncharted]

Indeed, important lessons to take away. Leave no trace.

[@MichaelNielsenStudios]

Fantastic, Content! Love the rig and filmmaking too. Looking forward to seeing more from you guys!

[@OverlandUncharted]

Thank you!

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

I was starting to wonder if you knew the pine cone fire starter hack. Food looked delicious. Now I want some coffee ☕

[@OverlandUncharted]

Haha order you some coffee! It’s good stuff 😁😁😁

[@alphatruckhouse8223]

Yeah Man ! Livin wild & free ...... ya'll lookin great ~peace~

[@OverlandUncharted]

Only way to be brother! Thanks so much, glad you like it :)

[@vanfrier7209]

Looks like a wonderful place to camp. Jen; love your food idea's!

[@OverlandUncharted]

Thank you! As the family chef, I (Jen) always have something up my sleeve! Haha. I may not be able to replicate it again but it will always be good!! :)

[@wanderfullife4.068]

Love the scenery and music

[@OverlandUncharted]

Thank you!

[@V4NLIFE_CANADA]

When is another video coming ?

[@OverlandUncharted]

October is a busy month with birthdays and our anniversary. We are getting some upgrades to the truck the first of November then we will be filming again. So hopefully before thanksgiving. 🙏🏻😁

[@jessesaenz1021]

Beautiful Country

[@OverlandUncharted]

Indeed! Just one of the many reasons we love Colorado, thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@jaystewart9947]

Here’s the link kzbin.info

[@OverlandUncharted]

Awesome, thanks!! We know the whole briquette method…but it’s funny, I’d rather not get that ash and soot all over my pans 😂 …. Kinda like living in the box but not wanting to bring all the mud and dirt inside….

[@largemarge1603]

@@OverlandUncharted Agreed. Dirt and schmutz belongs outside. Bugs belong outside. After a meal of chili with beans, a long walk keeps other 'matters' outside... mostly.

[@jaysully7516]

Great video!

[@OverlandUncharted]

Thank you! Appreciate you!

[@claytonmedic]

Looking great!!!

[@OverlandUncharted]

Thanks buddy! Finally getting to make what we want to make!
